Most of the online casinos have an option where you can play their online games for free. For the quality casinos, it is their way of letting you get used to how games are played, how well they run on your computer, and of course, how well you play – all before you start using your own money.

It’s a great way to introduce people to online games yet it is one of the most underused features of any online casino. I think at times people sign up and want to jump straight into the action. I don’t blame them, but every casino is different so spending five or ten minutes to familiarize yourself with the casino using their free service can be a good investment.

Some online casinos now offer cash prizes for some of their free online games. SportingBet’s casino has a promotion running at present where you can play Blackjack for free in a Friday night tournament and come away with a cash prize if you finish in the top six. For a game that’s free, winning real cash is a bonus.

The downside to these Friday tournaments is that each game is limited to 1000 seats in total – and they are snapped up pretty quickly. If you enjoy the occasional game of Blackjack and you have Friday nights free, why not try your hand in a Free Blackjack tournament. You have nothing to lose except a couple of hours of your time.
